>Intelligence is just a skill, more precisely a meta-skill that defines your ability to get new skills. But imagination is a fucking superpower. Isn't this the core inconsistency? Intelligence explosion advocates obviously believe that imagination is not an irreducible superpower, but part of the same meta-skill that defines your ability to get new skills. If you assume that paradigm shifts can be farmed at the same rate of discoveries, it seems like you'd get explosive effects again. This also assumes that fields don't proliferate; i.e., that a single field couldn't produce multiple paradigm shifts that each open up a space of new low-hanging fruit. Still, good treatment of the question. Much more convincing than a lot of the explanations for.
